Abstract: Let $V$ be a vertex operator algebra satisfying certain reductivity and finiteness conditions such that $mathcal{C}_V$, the category of V-modules, is a modular tensor category. We study open-closed field algebras over V equipped with nondegenerate invariant bilinear forms for both open and closed sectors. We show that they give algebras over certain $C$-extension of the Swiss-cheese partial dioperad, and we obtain Ishibashi states easily in such algebras. We formulate Cardy condition algebraically in terms of the action of the modular transformation $S:aumapsto-frac1au$ on the space of intertwining operators. We then derive a graphical representation of S in the modular tensor category $mathcal{C}_V$. This result enables us to give a categorical formulation of Cardy condition and modular invariant conformal full field algebra over $VotimesV$. Then we incorporate the modular invariance condition for genus-one closed theory, Cardy condition and the axioms for open-closed field algebra over V equipped with nondegenerate invariant bilinear forms into a tensor-categorical notion called Cardy $mathcal{C}_V|mathcal{C}_{VotimesV}$-algebra. We also give a categorical construction of Cardy $mathcal{C}_V|mathcal{C}_{VotimesV}$-algebra in Cardy case.
